Venue: 
The Lemon Grove, Exeter University

With her star firmly in the ascendant, Warwickshire songstress Lucy Rose is making her own destiny and shaping her future like no other new artist.

A mixture of true grit, sheer dedication and an unshakeable sense of self has all led Lucy to the kind of status that most new artists dream of but can only achieve through record company support.

Until her recent signing to Columbia Records, Lucy Rose had none of this, but her heart-stoppingly poignant songs and cracked porcelain voice saw her enter 2012 with YouTube hits, radio plays and crowds like nobody else out there. Such...

A hideously funny black farce in which four friends are slowly stripped of all their pretensions and secrets until nothing is left but the truth.

A full moon rises over a windswept cottage in the middle of nowhere. Children are in bed…wine is breathing nicely and the dinner is in the oven.

It’s Gordon and Celia’s wedding anniversary. They’ve asked their oldest and dearest friends Zach and Jane down from London. The only problem is that Zach and Jane aren’t Zach and Jane anymore. Jane has gone and Julia – the twenty five year old, French burlesque dancer, has taken her place...
